Hey Guys. I've been in the market for a single pup guitar and this thing looks pretty badass. Anyone ever play one of these?

Well for starters it doesn't even have single coils.

Single pup as in 1 pickup :p

Unless you meant single in the sense of ONE pickup.

Either way, it's a bit too "metal" looking for me, and I find the inlay rather dumb. But hey, with the specs listed it might sound pretty nice. Really just depends on what your setup is and what sort of music you'd play with it.

Yeah the inlay is a little much, but I think I could get over it.

i would play it, fuck it.
for 350.00 i think its worth it to the right crowd, and the specs are pretty good.

Thx for the input Robog, that's kind of what I was thinking. Nothing to lose if I just play around with it for a bit. It seems unique, I've never seen these around CL before so it would be nice to have something kind of different.

looks like the celtic esquire they had a few years ago. you can get those for about $250-$300 on ebay.

Musicians friend blew them out for like $150 back in 03 or so.

Yea those were out at the exact same time as a couple other very similar models. There was one with some kinda indian looking inlay... I think it was called the inca tele or something like that, and also the Esquire Custom GT, which I still kick myself for not buying when they closed them out on MF for about $150 like Aen just said.

Oh shit that's cool! I guess I'll have to look around more. That guy emailed me back and refused to meet me half way. I lives in the suburbs on the opposite side of the city and I don't drive. No way would I take a guitar on the trains thru the ghetto. haha I'll have to scope ebay. Thanks all
